Affording Bancroft
At Bancroft, we encourage families to visit, ask questions, and explore what’s possible. For many families, that includes learning more about tuition, financial aid, and payment options. We know that cost is important to you, and we’re committed to helping families understand the full picture through need-based financial aid, flexible payment plans, and personalized guidance.

What to Know and How to Apply
Bancroft believes that students benefit significantly from learning within a socio-economically diverse student body. The School’s financial aid budget is designed to supplement family resources to allow a healthy number of students to enroll who would not have been able to do so without the School’s assistance.
Applying is easy. Bancroft School uses Clarity to determine a family’s level of financial need based on the information that families share in the application which includes assets, income, expenses, and debts.
The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $65 fee to submit the application.
Additional Considerations
-
Both parents/guardians are expected to contribute to tuition.
-
In the case of divorce or separation, Bancroft School requires both parents to file an application for financial assistance.
-
Bancroft School is not bound by any divorce agreement specifying a parent’s responsibility for educational expenses.
-
Relative “need” of the family is within the context of the application pool and financial aid funds available.
-
Financial aid is awarded on an annual basis. Currently enrolled Bancroft School students must reapply annually for the next academic year and do so no later than January 15th. They will be given priority when determining financial aid awards
-
Hope Graham Program (grades 2-8) and our tiered academic support programs are not eligible for financial aid.
